Actually I'd say that currently God of War is probably still the most violent main-stream game out there...Still, Gears does have some nice blood and gore to it...Chain saw to the face, anyone?

Anyways, going back to Beowulf though...Arm ripping, face stomping, jaw ripping, skull bashing...These are all things that you can do and more! Oh and you can't forget the lovely blood sprays!...Hell, if you don't believe me, then go watch the videos!

ive never even played god of war and i know for a fact from watching g4 and all the boss battles that god of war is way more gorier and bloodeir sure putting a chainsaw to the face is pretty gory but watch this boss battle and ull see what i mean
